The Stereoscope of Solitary Beings

A labyrinthine journey based on Juan Rodolfo Wilcock

A poet of the absurd, with The Stereoscope of Solitary Beings the Argentinian author Juan Rodolfo Wilcock composed a fantastical bestiary of dark and disturbing humour. In his elegant and singular writing, he paints a portrait of marginal and unconventional solitary beings who defend their life choices with determination, courage, madness and intelligence. To music by Ana Maria Rodriguez and a stage design by Fred Pommerehn, Ingrid von Wantoch Rekowski appropriates this strange, darkly humorous and eccentric universe to offer the spectator a novel musical and theatrical adventure. The audience is invited to wander in a vast maze-like cabinet of curiosities, encountering hybrid and fabulous creatures brought to life by both actors and musicians.

Le résultat est insolite. Les solitaires de Wilcock resurgissent dans les allées d’un labyrinthe fait de 3000 cartons blancs. Le lieu est étrange, comme hanté. (…). Dans le prisme du stéréoscope défilent les figures d’un bestiaire décadent.

(L’hebdo du Vendredi Reims, Fanny Lattach 6/02/15)

 

Un étrange panorama et à l’oreille une matière sonore hypnotique : un théâtre musical gentiment déraisonnable !

(La Marseillaise, Jacques et Agnès Freschel, 21/05/16

 

On est d’emblée happé par l’étrangeté de cette création. Bouillonnante d’idées, la mise en scène est signée Ingrid von Wantoch Rekowski.

Die Kunstfestpiele haben am Eröffnungswochenende einen hohen Erlebnisfaktor bewiesen. Wie dieses Stereoskop der Einzelgänger in der Herrenhaüser Galerie.

Es war eine Performance, die alle Sinne bediente und einen so sehr in Ihnen Bann zog, dass man noch lange darüber nachdachte…

(Juana Zimmermann, Positionen Nummer 112)

A unique immersive experience, a combination of many forms of performance.

Absolutely stunning! Visual and Sound combined together with the installation arts, and especially musically the whole event is superb!
